Looking for some advice as I couldn’t seem to find a whole lot on this. I purchased a Gonipora in late November and it was doing lovely until about a month ago when I accidentally blasted with a powerhead for a few hours. Within two days it had pretty much completely receded and I figured it was gone. Kept it in the tank and it was just sort of there but then one day my algae scraper clapped together, fell into the tank and fell onto the Goni and broke it clean off the rock. So I glued it back but this time I put it in the back corner where it has the lowest par. Well, lo and behold, the thing is actually starting to extend again. However, I noticed the brown slime where the goni had been on the rock and in my ignorance I thought it was part of the goni since it had been on it since the day I bought it. I don’t think it’s bjd or it would have been dead months ago but I’m also pretty sure it’s not a good thing. My question is 1) what is it? 2) How bad is it that it is in my tank? 3) I’ve read that hydrogen peroxide could be used to treat gonis for things like this and wondering if that would be viable in this case? 4) I can remove the other corals from the rock, so would it be good to take the rock out (and goni as well) to treat them both (and how)?
Basically- what can I do to save my goni and not make this situation worse. As for the rest of the tank - there doesn’t seem to be any other coral affected. LPS - SPSs all are thriving. The
pictures are of the goni in December and the other two are of the rock and goni in its current state (taken at night)
